CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS

I Precautions

R DANGER!
ID-RP2 installation, particularly ID-
RP2L and antennas, is intended for professional in-
stallation only. We are not responsible for any
building breakage, any damage resulting from a drop
of the ID-RP2L or antenna from a high place or un-
stable site or resulting from any personal injury nor
any accident in any other cases. Be sure to consult
an expert engineer for installations.

I About the power supply

Slide the nut, washer,
rubber gasket and clamp
over the coaxial cable,
then cut the end of the
cable evenly.
Strip the cable and fold the
braid back over the clamp.
Soft solder the center
conductor.
Install
the
center conductor pin and
solder it.
Carefully slide the plug
body into place aligning the
center conductor pin on the
cable. Tighten the nut onto
the plug body.
NEVER expose the ID-RP2C/D/V to rain, snow or any
liquids.
NEVER connect the repeater to a power source using
reverse polarity. This will damage the repeater.
And turn the repeater power OFF when connecting a
power supply.
AVOID using or placing the ID-RP2C/D/V in areas with
temperature below –10˚C (+14˚F) or above +50˚C
(+122˚F).
AVOID placing the ID-RP2C/D/V in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the ID-RP2C/D/V against walls or
putting anything on top of the units. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
Use 50 Ω of impedance for both antenna
and coaxial cable.
